Rather a slow news day:
No whales
No dolphins
No fish
No lures lost
We did have a great sail though up from Bequia to
Martinique. Just under 100 miles which took us about 11 1/2 hours so good
progress. The sailing was fantastic between islands but compromised abit by the
wind shadow cast by the mountains - all extinct volcanoes and some 5000 feet
high.
We had a swim on arrival and saw
Olivier swimming hard for the beach. We wondered whether he was missing
France - Martinique is a department of France and a part of the EU. Either that
or he wanted to find some cheese which didn't come already in
slices.
All back on board now, and heading up to
Guadeloupe, the famous butterfly shaped island tomorrow, before a short hop to
Antigua on Monday.
